The Magnficent Seven Collection (DVD Review)

Reviewed By Jason Lockard

When most people think of western movies they think John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. But the western genre had many amazing stars over the years. And many of them were found in The Magnificent Seven.

We were recently able to pick up The Magnificent Seven movie Collection at the Dollar Tree, Yes you read that right the Dollar Tree. 4 movies for 1 dollar. And we thought we would cover it on this review today.

Film Rating System:
****=Don’t Miss it!
***=Worth a look.
**=An Ok way to spend an evening.
*=You haven’t missed anything.

The Magnificent Seven (1960) Seven gunfighters are hired by Mexican peasants to liberate their village from oppressive bandits. ***

The Return of the Magnificent Seven (1966) Two survivors of the initial Magnificent Seven outfit, Chris and Vin, recruit four new members in order to re-form the outfit and defend a few Mexican villages from attacks by vicious bandits. **

Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) A Mexican revolutionary hires an American gunslinger to organize the rescue of their leader from a brutal Army prison. **

The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972) Forced by personal circumstances, Marshal Chris Adams recruits a writer and five prisoners to help him eliminate a gang of Mexican bandits. **

Now while these westerns may not be "The Great American Western", they are very entertaining! Yul Brynner was an amazing lead in the first two films, but sadly he didn't return for the final two films. But no worries there are plenty of amazing actors to fill the void all through these films.

I am so glad that every film in this collection gets it's own disc. There is no squeezing of data on this discs. The films are presented in it's original widescreen format. The first three films in 2.35:1 aspect ratio and the final film in1.85:1 aspect ratio. The films are also come with Spanish and french dubs on certain films for those that would like that option.

Now with my copy of this collection it came with a digital code for all four films. That was unexpected and completely cool! I think if you are a fan of westerns or great action films The Magnificent Seven Collection will be right up your alley.

I know in 2016 The Magnificent Seven was remade featuring Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawk and others. And I mean no disparaging remarks to that film. But for me there is nothing like the classics. I enjoy films from the older era. I probably always will. The original films are priceless.

So if you want a copy of The Magnificent Seven Collection head over to Amazon.com and get your copy today.
